Does HP + Palm = Facepalm?

,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, the good news for open source is 
| that it doesn't really matter whether HP's 
| move proves deeply wise or totally witless. 
| Both Android and webOS have Linux at their 
| heart, and both use additional free 
| software (that found in the latest webOS 
| includes ALSA and webkit elements.) In that 
| sense, the lifeline that HP has thrown to 
| Palm and hence webOS is good news: more 
| resources will be expended on making key 
| parts of open source better.

A brief history of Palm

,----[ Quote ]
| The PalmPilot is credited with popularizing 
| the personal digital assistant, or PDA. And 
| it was the device that established the 
| basic form factor that later smartphones 
| would use. After earlier attempts by Apple 
| and others, Palm proved there was a market 
| for a third category of portable computing 
| device, something more than a cell phone 
| but less than a laptop.

Quick guide to webOS

,----[ Quote ]
| webOS itself is a Linux-based operating system
| but with Palm designed components on top of it.
| It gives it a rather curious mix of open source
| foundations and very effective proprietary guts
| at the same time, and the result is an agnostic
| way of integrating your social networks and
| other forms of communication. It's the default
| and entirely locked-in operating system for the
| Pre and will also be at the heart of the Palm
| Pixi which we'll probably see before the end of
| the year.
